THE EXCERPT
Damon knelt before
them.
"Will she get
better? Will she…" Prince’s voice trailed off.
Her eyes locked on
Damon’s face as he regarded her thoughtfully. His hand came up and she flinched
as it rested on the top of her head. No pain came. She felt…nothing. If he
tried to speak to her, she couldn’t hear him.
"No," he
said finally. "There has been damage to the brain. There is bleeding and
swelling inside."
Prince’s cry
startled her, almost as much as the sudden clutching of his arms around her.
"Can you do anything," he choked out. "Please, I am responsible.
I can not…I will pay–"
Damon chuckled.
"It is not your life that needs saving." He stared at Prince for a
long moment. "I see." He shook his head. "Perhaps I was wrong
and she isn’t the one. I read so few pages of the book." He turned to Kei.
"No,"
the Fey said. "I don’t remember."
"Pity."
"Dragos, I
beg of you," Prince began again.
"The Elven
prince begs, and for a human. How very far you have fallen." He looked
down at her again.
Blinking up at
him, she tried to get her scattered thoughts to work. She’d barely comprehended
what he’d said past the inference she was dying. The words sent an icy chill
through her body. Terror crawled through her, speeding her heart. Sweat broke
out on her forehead and all she could hear was her increasingly frantic
breathing.
Kei startled her,
leaning forward over her to press a kiss to her forehead. She tilted her head
back, trying to see him.
"I’m with
you."
Damon’s fingers
brushes her cheek, drawing her attention back to him. "Do you wish to
live, young Arowyn?"
Words refused to
pass her lips. Somehow she managed to nod. She didn’t know what the cost would
be, certainly there would be one. Right then, she didn’t care. Rot it all, she
wanted to live!
"Very
well." He regarded her thoughtfully for a moment. "Dragos rarely heal
others. I do know the magic, but it is difficult. Your story has barely begun.
I find I would actually attempt it, just to see what you might become and how
it will unfold."
He sat back and
gestured to the pile of furs next to him. "Lay her down. This will take
some time and I’ll need no distractions."
Prince carefully
set her amongst the furs, arranging her arms so her hands rested on her chest,
tucking stray locks of hair behind her ears. Leaning forward, he rested his
forehead for a moment against hers.
"Get well,
Arowyn."
Bo appeared next,
smoothing the hair back on the top of her head and squeezing one of her hands.
"You can do this, pup."
Garen pressed his
wet nose against her temple. If he spoke, she didn’t hear him.
Kei pushed the
wolf aside and took her face in his hands. His eyes glowed with that strange
orange inner light. Tears streaked down his cheeks. Despite the awkward
position he leaned down and held her close for a moment. "Remember our
promises," he whispered in her. "I’m always with you." He choked
on a sob and squeezed her tightly again. "I love you," he whispered
fiercely before quickly pulling away.
She wished she
could speak. More than anything, she wanted to tell him she loved him, too. She
wanted to tell all of them she did. Tears filled her eyes and slid down her
face.
Damon knelt beside
her and turned her head to look at him. "I will do what I can," he
said. "However I can’t guarantee it will work. I have never tried to heal
a human before. Understand?"
She managed a
faint nod and pressed her quivering lips together.
He glanced up and
gestured the others away. "Stand back and be silent." His eyes found
hers again. "Don’t fight me this time, little one. Fall into my
eyes…"
Blinking once more
to clear the tears away, she tried to do as he asked. Damon’s eyes were strange
enough she found it not difficult to stare. They had vertical slits and no
whites at all. The iridescent color was a wash of blue-green with streaks of
gold and red. The colors began to swirl, making her dizzy as she tried to watch
them. A comforting thrum emanated from his chest, soothing her as his power
wrapped around her. Her thoughts drifted into nothing.
